Research trends and hot spots in the prevention and management of radiation dermatitis: a bibliometric analysis based on CiteSpace.
Article in Radiation oncology (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study sought to examine the current state and explore the key areas and emerging trends in radiation dermatitis prevention and management through bibliometric analysis, with the goal of providing valuable insights for future research endeavors.
methodsThis study analyzed all publications on radiation dermatitis prevention and management from the Web of Science (WOS) core database up to 2024. The CiteSpace software was utilized to visualize authors, countries/regions, publishing institutions, keywords, co-cited documents, hot spots, and research frontiers.
resultsA total of 459 articles (1995-2024) were identified, with the overall number of publications demonstrating an increasing trend. The United States (125) produced the highest number of publications, followed by China (73) and Canada (45). Key research topics encompass breast cancer, head and neck cancer, acute radiation dermatitis, and radiation recall dermatitis. Double-blind clinical trials constitute the primary research methodology. The main research areas in this field focus on the role of radiotherapy dose fractionation modalities, atmospheric pressure cold plasma, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), aloe vera, biomodulation therapy, and biological dressings in the prevention and management of radiation dermatitis.
conclusionThis comprehensive bibliometric analysis reveals that risk prediction, assessment tools, and the efficacy of radiodermatitis are prominent research topics in the field. These areas are currently experiencing rapid growth and warrant further attention from researchers.
